Windows 8 app Remotely Controls Cars, Frightens Passers-by!

This is an in-development vehicle control app shown off at the company’s Redmond campus as part of this year’s Worldwide Public Safety Symposium. The Metro-style application turns any windows 8 slate into a virtual controller, granting users remote access to door locks, sirens, lights, as well as the ability to determine GPS location. And, as you’ll see in the video, it also has the unintended and wholly amusing benefit of freaking out innocent passers-by.
